Good morning everyone, welcome to another challenge over at Inspiration Destination, we would love you to join in again and you can find the link here Inspiration Destination

There is also some exciting news this week we're having a DT Call! We hope you'll take the time to read all about it and if you know anyone who would be interested in playing along with our challenges as a DT member, be sure to tell them to contact Ema Martinez

This week we have two great sponsors, The Cutting Café and Little Blue Button Stamps.

To create this card I used the double sided stepper dies to cut from white cardstock.

I ran a smaller section of the die cut card through the embossing folder and added to the front of my card. I printed out my image onto some white card and then copied and flipped her to form a mirror image. I absolutely adore this image and have coloured her several times now. Next I used another section of the die to cut around my images and added to the two side panels of my card using foam tape.

I then added two smaller pieces of embossed card to the middle panels, added the flowers and leaves to these and finally finished by adding the sentiment on the front at the bottom.

To create this card I cut the stepper with the Tattered Lace die. I also cut the backing paper with the die and added to the front of my card. I cut two small pieces of the backing paper and added to the centre panels.

I die cut the trees and added the larger one to the left hand panel and the two smaller ones on the centre middle panel.

I added the sentiment to the middle back panel.

After colouring my image I fussy cut around her and mounted her on the right hand side panel using foam tape.

Finally, I added the die cut flowers to the bottom left hand panel beneath the tree.

To create this card I scored and folded a sheet of A4 white card to make a 15cm by 15cm square card blank. I scored and folded the front of the card in half to make the easel card base.

Next, I covered the base of the card in the backing paper and added the stamped sentiment using foam tape after cutting out with fancy edge scissors and matt and layering onto a piece of the dark blue card.

I printed out the image direct onto the background and after colouring my image I matt and layered her onto some dark blue card and added to the folded flap of my card using foam tape.

Finally, I added the flourish and flowers on the left hand side to complete.

Good morning everyone, welcome to another challenge over at Inspiration Destination. We would love you to join in and have some fun with us and you can find the link here Inspiration Destination. This week we have two great sponsors, Bugaboo and Eureka Stamps.

To create this card I scored and folded an A4 piece of dark blue hammered card to make an A5 card blank.

I ran the light blue card through the embossing folder then sanded back to reveal the white snowflakes. I then added a piece of blue satin ribbon around this card and tied a knot to create the bow before adding to the front of my card.

I cut out the image with the circle die and added to a large piece of dark blue hammered card before attaching to the front of my card to form the topper. I coloured the background of the topper with a Derwent blue pencil.

Finally, I added some gold glitter gel to the star on the topper.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like my DT makes for this week's challenge.

To create this card I scored and folded a sheet of A4 white card to measure a 15cm x 15cm square card blank. To this I added a piece of backing paper slightly smaller than the card leaving a white border around the edge.

After colouring my digi image with Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor pencils I die cut and added to the front of my card using wet glue.

I punched three flowers and layered them up, then added the faux gems to the centres before adding to the right hand side of my card.

Finally, I added the sentiment at the bottom left hand side to complete.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like my card, better still I hope my friend likes it!

I die cut a piece of the blue polka dot paper with the hexagonal die and added to the front of the card, then I die cut the finished image with the square die and added to the front of my card using foam tape.

Finally, I added three flower embellishments at the left-hand side, added a faux gem to the blue one and the sentiment at the top right-hand side.

I scored and folded an A4 piece of white card to make an A5 landscape card blank.

I added the background to the front of my card and after colouring my image I fussy cut around her before adding her to the front of my card using wet glue. I then added the arrow heads and bird, then drew in the top of the fishing pole and the shafts of the arrows.

I die cut the snowflake in white card and covered in glitter, I also glittered around the fishing hole.

Finally, I added the glittered snowflake to the top right hand side of my card and the sentiment at the bottom right hand side to complete.

I die cut the sentiment and added to a piece of white card before adding to the right hand side of my main card.

Finally, I added the numbers at the top right hand side and the flower embellishment to the bottom left hand side to complete.

To create this card I used a shaped card blank. I added a piece of backing paper to the front of the card after cutting to the shape of the card.

I die cut the acetate after using alcohol inks on it and ran it through the embossing folder to get the bubble effect. I stuck this to the front of my card using wet glue, then added the coloured image after cutting with the circle die.

I cut a small piece of the fuzzy paper with the fringe scissors to create a towel to hang on the bath.
